| Please give me some ideas Kingston is a great little boy he is very smart and seems to catch on very quickly. That being said I am have an issues with the potty training I think LOL. By no means do I expect him to be anywhere near potty trained, I am aware that it can take a while, Lily was not fully trained till she was 9 months old. My issue is he goes pee constantly, with Lily I would go sit by the potty pad with her every hour until she caught on but with Kingston I can’t seem to get it down. He goes to the pad 40% of the time on his own but most of the time when he pees on the floor it is rate after he made a big pee on the pad. Sometimes he will pee 4 or 5 times in an hour and other time he will go a few hours with no pee at all. I am lost, what can I do, I want to be consistent, but I feel I can't keep up with the peeing sometimes and he really does not let you know he has to go. Is it normal for boys to pee more often? Sorry it is so long. Please give me some ideas

I Love My Babies Donating Member | Hi. As a baby, TJ did pee more than Sandy. I think it is a boy thing, because Dexter is 2 and he still does. Sandy would let you know when she had to go, she would wiggle and squirm... but TJ would just stand and look at me. I was supposed to know what he was thinking, I guess. He is still that way at 8 months old. When he is quiet and just standing and looking at me.. we need to go out. If I ask him if he has to go potty... he will start jumping and heading for the door. I started him out in a small area. I have a portable fence and I set it up so he could be right with me. I put down 3 potty pads to start. And we made trips outside about every 45 minutes or so.. as soon as he got up from any nap, and a few minutes after he ate. It was a lot of work but it really paid off. He was almost completely housebroken at 4 mo.'s. I say almost because that little stinker would poop on the rug under the table every great once in a while. I finally took the rug out until he was completely trained. I don't know why he did that. He doesn't do it now. Anyway, as he got better.. I removed a pad and only had 2. Which I took up as soon as he soiled them.. and put down fresh. Then when he wasn't using them .. we went to 1 which I had slowly moved towards the door. So at 6 mo... he was trained... I now have a doggie door... incase he has to go before I can get to it.. But they are always with me... so they do not go out unsupervised.. And I have a dog proof back yard with solid wood fencing. Hope some of this helps. Good luck.
